You can now stop by the long-running ice cream stand for a nice hot breakfast of oat-meal, a cup of coffee and more and then stop back by for lunch or dinner as well…or just any old time for your favorite ice cream treats. The Dairy Korner is under new ownership as I shared with you a couple of weeks ago, and you can read the rest of that original story right here. Just wanted to update you to let you know that the place is now open and ready to serve you. You might want to take special note of a new burger they have crafted in my honor, which is rather humbling. The “Moodylicious Burger” is a deluxe olive burger with a slab of cream cheese to cap it off. Give it a try…I hope to soon myself. In case you missed it, here’s the original story from Moody on the Market.com . The Dairy Korner in St. Joseph has been making kids of all ages smile for more than 60-years and when the “for sale” sign went up at the end of last season, there were fears that those smiles would fade and the end might be close at hand. Despite the dramatic makeover and fresh new look for the iconic ice cream store and diner, some were afraid that a potential buyer might find the land more valuable than the build-ing. Well rest easy, Dairy Korner lovers. Anthony & Denise Miceli have taken command, after closing the deal to buy the business, and they and their kids and a flotilla of employees will set sail to breathe new life into the place and keep the spirit alive and well. The Micelis were in the house when I met with them, taking inventory of what was ready to go and what they would need to do to get the Dairy Korner open by their ideal target of March 6th. On top of that, they plan to operate ten months out of the year, closing only for January and February to recharge the batteries for the next go round. When they first came to town a little over eight years ago, they actually were interested in acquiring the place, but it wasn’t for sale, and despite occasional “for sale” signs that would pop up out front over the years, the long-time owner never really got serious about actually selling until Greg Rood success-fully purchased it, performed the makeover, and ran the shop for a full season last spring and summer. When he closed for the season he put the business on the market, and that’s when the Micelis jumped into action to make their long standing dream come true. Anthony worked as a Claims Resolution Manager in the Legal Department at Whirlpool for just under nine years, and Denise spent 20 years as a Starbuck’s Coffee Shop manager in Tinley Park, Illinois outside of Chicago before moving here. The Dairy Korner has been a treat for tens of thou-It always seems too early, until it’s too late.
